Krohn Racing have a bought a Ligier JS P2. I'm not sure if it's for USC or WEC from the press release but the Ligier is a beautiful car so one more in the world is good news wherever it races.
E- It looks like it's a WEC entry since it has been retweeted by them. The LMP2 class has been a bit sparse this season so additional entries are a welcome bonus, even if they have amateur drivers.

I have a bunch of pics from today! I will post them soon! I got invited into Ultimate Racing's garage to talk with the drivers, mechanics and the crew chief. I learned a lot about the setup of the cars! I got to sit in the Civic and the WRX STI. The trophy was also pretty cool! ( they won today) I also was invited into Dempsey Racing's garage. I got to talk with the drivers and about everyone on the team! Porsche got pope position in WEC.

I thought the whole point of the GP3 drive was to give Jann more downforce experience for the LMP program. Unless they reach deep into their pockets and put him in F1, but that seems unlikely.

Nissan are dreaming. You need the best driver line-up possible if you want to take on teams that employ the likes of Lotterer, Duval, Buemi, Davidson, Nakajima and Jani, and currently no available American or GT Academy drivers are anywhere near that class. You hire the likes of Pla, Heidfeld, JP Oliveira and Vergne if he becomes available. You might take Mardenborough, but no other GT Academy driver is anywhere near good enough at the moment. Beyond the Englishman, any GT Academy hires, particularly American ones, would be predominantly for PR and should be restricted to 3rd cars in less significant races (i.e. a third car at COTA next year).

Autosport wrote a bit about the drivers they will use here: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/115942 (second half of the article). The US GT Academy driver would be for 2016.

2016 sounds awfully optimistic. It's nothing more than a dream.

Thank you sir, although kind of unofficial, I ain't willing to pay for a WEC subscription just for a few races throughout a year.
